Dalembert by a million miles, then Hunter for his youth and athleticism and then James.

Dalembert's money doesn't scare anyone?

I roll with James. I love this guy. I fell in love with his game since I found out he was the same guy that was on the Globetrotters.

James has inside presence. Not just the blocks.....he also has the body and will to use that body with fearless authority. That alone is worth the money. But the side deal with Jerome James is that we may be getting the player that he is supposed to be on the offensive end. James has skills....you saw it in the playoffs. He wasn't in foul trouble against the Spurs. McMillen just didn't play him.

Go Knicks baby!

Just imagine any NBA center not named Shaq here:

I went with Other becuase I would('ve) liked the Knicks to find a way to sign Chandler or Curry. I think Dalembert is extremely overrated. Potential is a irrestiable word and trait for many GMs in the NBA today and alot of time these GMs get burned on it. Hunter is ok and so is James but if I had my druthers I think Tyson Chandler or Eddy Curry would be the guy I want the Knicks to get. I'm not a doctor or anything but if Curry has been cleared to play then I say he's fine, the guy can put up #s from the starting center spot and would be a nice addition.

I haven't seen this photo before, great shot. We haven't had a guy this big and powerful since you know who. Look how small the ball looks in his hand!

It's hard to tell if he'd make it to the basket. It does look like Duncan is about to foul him, though.

Good to have another big fella.

Jerome James will definately eat well off Marbury's dishes!!!!!!!!

The highlights were decent, but the third link showed the first clip again.

He'll get fed enough on the court to not have to snack while off it.

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

this guy has been an enigma, he has the body and some decent skills, you would think a guy 7-1 275 could do more damage than 2 double doubles in 162 games. im not down on this signing, i wouldve rather it been a little less $ and years for sure, knicks always sem to negotiate against themeselves. ive looked around the nba and ive seen no evidence that we couldnt got this guy for 4 years 16mm-the same $ pachulia got/thats what he is worth

Dalembert easily...the other 2 are scrubs...i'd have much rather signed a Dale Davis to a 1-2 year LLE type offer & kept the longterm money off our payroll until a player came along who was worth investing in.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

How long would you be willing to wait for a center? I think some Knicks fans are just terribly afraid of commitment--always waiting for something better to come along.

sorry to break the news to you ace, but we're still waiting for a C, unless you think a career scrub like JJ will fill our needs for the foreseeable future.
